Hello, @brylie I was working on this issue.

Issue

The task is to eliminate the username field from the user model while retaining the ability for users to log in using either a username or an email address.

Changes Made

Email Backend

UserModel = get_user_model()
class EmailBackend(ModelBackend):
    def authenticate(self, request, username=None, password=None, **kwargs):
        try:
            user = UserModel.objects.get(
                Q(email__iexact=username),
            )
        except UserModel.DoesNotExist:
            UserModel().set_password(password)
            return
        except UserModel.MultipleObjectsReturned:
            user = (
                UserModel.objects.filter(
                    Q(email__iexact=username),
                )
                .order_by("id")
                .first()
            )

        if user.check_password(password) and self.user_can_authenticate(user):
            return user

LoginForm

class LoginForm(AuthenticationForm):
    username = forms.CharField(label="Email / Username")

User Model

class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
    email = models.EmailField(_("email address"), unique=True)

LoginView

class LoginView(auth_views.LoginView):
    form_class = LoginForm
    template_name = "registration/login.html"
